Has anyone had their IVF drugs sent from Greece to the UK?

We are going to Greece for IVF and the drugs are much cheaper over there so the clinic has given me the details of a pharmacy in Greece to order them from. The pharmacy will post the drugs to me here in the UK. Has anybody else had their drugs sent to the UK from Greece and how easy was it? I know that they are a lot cheaper but I am worried about making payment and the drugs getting lost in the post.

I haven't had this done but Ive had my prescription couriered to me. It really is cheaper out there than the UK. I presume they wont just stick them in the post and will have UPS tracking or something similar....ask them what method they will send them, Im sure it'll be fine!xx

After I had my positive beta I arranged for more meds to be shipped from Greece, wich came after about a week.There is a way of receiving them earlier and signed with an extra cost.
